How about they actually make Firefox restore multiple windows for those with dual monitors? Shit crashes? Say goodbye to an ENTIRE monitor worth of Firefox when it restarts. Will it be the left monitor? Right monitor? Who fucking knows! You'll be able to reopen your tabs on ONE of the sessions!

I have dual monitors and when this happens I go to history, restore window and get my session back. Have you tried this?

You'll only get 1 window worth of stuff back. Every time. It's a known bug, and is currently filed in their bug tracker. Pinned tabs get lost, second-monitor windows get lost, etc.

And yes, I fully know about History -> Restore Window.
